Q&A - Pruning Nandina Bushes
Question:
We have several nandina bushes. The tallest is six feet and the shortest is about four and a half feet. How far back can we prune the nandina bushes and when is the best time to do it?
Answer:
Nandina bushes are naturally long and spindly. Caring for them is simple but the technique from pruning their branches requires good timing. Dale Skaggs recommends you prune in late winter and maintain the natural "T" shape by pruning their excess canes close to the base.
